GG2 Server CP

[Roxon]

I made this a few days ago and have been testing it since. It's just my machine, so I'm sure others of you will get bugs. Be sure to give feedback, especially these first few days, as I iron out whatever nonsense crops up. Also, tell me if you find it useful or not; I certainly have. That's the reason I decided to make it public. Otherwise, it's pretty self-explanatory and easy to use. Let me know if you have any problems and what not. Enjoy.

Features
   ✔ Easily edit server configuration
   ✔ Simply remove/add maps from the rotation
   ✔ Start, restart, and shutdown the server in 1 click

Installation
Download Prerequisites
  → Interop.AutoItX3Lib.dll (required)
  → Microsoft .NET Framework (required - if you get errors)

Choose Version
  → GG2 Server Control Panel (vanilla)
  → GG2 Server Control Panel (TazeT Mod/TTS)

Basic Use
The below diagram shows the basic usage of the GG2 Server Control Panel.



Server settings:
Edit general server settings that you would find in the GG2.ini file. Once you've saved the settings, you must restart the server.

Starting:
The server is started immediately (in dedicated mode).

Restarting:
The server is shutdown immediately (displays a warning box, with the option to cancel) and restarted in dedicated mode.

Shutdown:
The server shuts down immediately.

Exit:
Exits the server control panel without affecting the server.

Editing the Map Rotation
To edit the map rotation, click the text box that has loaded your map rotation file. If you haven't set a map rotation file, it will display this:



Once you've restarted it, you will be shown a new map rotation consisting of one map. Just click map rotation text box, and the map rotation editor will turn on.



After you've edited a map rotation, you'll have to restart the server. Of course, you already know that because the CP displays a message until you restart the server.
Note: restarting/starting the server puts your client into dedicated mode.

If you want to take a map out of the rotation without removing it entirely, add a pound (#) symbol prefixing the map.



If you want to add it back into the rotation, remove the pound symbol.

Sick stuff, dood. You know how to code kicking/banning and shit? It'd be awesome if we had a new vinmod-ish mod (without chat of course) since ajf isn't working on tts anymore

Unfortunately, I'm crap at GML. I mostly deal with web languages like PHP, ColdFusion, HTML, CSS, jQuery...
However this was some simple stuff with VB.NET + AutoIt.
I'm looking into learning GML, though - we'll see how it goes. Thanks.

think of gml like c if it had a procedural object system built in

Code:

"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."

What do I need in order to run this?

Sorry, I didn't think anyone would be without them. You need one of the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

or, search for the right version of the redistributables.

EDIT: you probably only need the .NET package.

Oh hey this looks great.
Nice job.

what does it do?

[Roxon]

For real? Read OP for god's sake. Here's the GUI, summarizing what it does. It's in the OP.

It still doesn't work.

Gee, why does this stuff only happens to me?

After further research into your problem I discovered the solution to your problem is to download the .NET Framework 3.5, as opposed to 4. If that doesn't work, don't know what to tell you.

Sweet stuff.

[Quack]

It works nice.

[Roxon]

It works nice.

Glad someone has tested it on their own. Just let me know if you find any bugs or anything.

[Super Sgt. Brown]

Dammit.
As soon as I open the program it crashes.

It's hopeless...
